WhatToExpect.com supports Word of Mom as a place to share stories and highlight the many perspectives and experiences of pregnancy and parenting. However, the opinions expressed in this section are those of individual writers and do not reflect the views of Heidi Murkoff of the What to Expect brand.

Soon-to-be parents Fergie and Josh Duhamel do not want your opinion on their baby name choice. In fact, they do not even want to know what their immediate family thinks of the moniker. Instead, the star couple is keeping their soon-to-be born son's name top secret until the birth this fall.

"Some people may not like it, some people may think it's really cool, but we don't really care — that's why we're not telling anybody. We're not even telling [her] mom because we don't want to hear anything about it. That way you don't feel like you're second-guessing yourself. It's between us — it's a sacred thing," Duhamel explained about their choice not to share the name according to People magazine.

The actor went on to spill that the moniker they have decided upon is "kind of traditional, kind of not. Duhamel admitted that his wife is a little edgier when it comes to her baby name preferences. But in the end, the name is one both parents are really excited about. In fact, they feel it will perfectly suit their bundle of joy.

In my experience, one of the hardest aspects of planning for baby is settling on a name. My husband and I do not always see eye-to-eye on baby names. But we came up with the perfect solution to our dilemma for baby number three. Our four-year-old daughter picked the name!

Meanwhile, Duhamel sweetly confessed to People that he doesn't want to be away from his expectant wife now. It seems he is enjoying sharing the pregnancy experience with her. The star also confided that the Black Eyed Peas singer is doing her best to stay fit during her pregnancy and only gives into cravings once in a while.

Do you and your partner agree on baby names or is deciding upon the winning moniker a true struggle?
